Trotec of Heinsberg wants to help German hoteliers out of the crisis and push the capacity limits of 50 – 60 per cent
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
As of this week the first hotels are allowed to open again! However, distance rules and strict hygiene requirements apply to all hotels to protect employees and guests from infection. The fear of the coronavirus is so great that even after the reopening many beds as well as seminar and conference rooms will remain empty. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that regulations vary from state to state. Hotels in Hamburg are only allowed to rent out 60 per cent of their rooms. Lower Saxony “allows” just 50 per cent. These regulations are supplemented by rules on social distancing, compulsory masks and increased disinfection measures. Far from rosy prospects for the already troubled hotel and restaurant industry.
Nurseries & Corona: Nurseries & Corona: Trotec develops corona protection for teachers and children in nurseries

In its most-recent Corona profile, the Robert Koch Institute has confirmed the dissemination of the virus via aerosols in the indoor air that we breathe[1]. To reduce this risk of infection in nurseries, Trotec has developed the innovative high-frequency TAC V+ air purifier to filter infectious aerosols (tiny saliva particles) from indoor air. According to scientists and virologists, aerosols are one of the main sources of infection with the coronavirus. If, on the other hand, the air in the room is constantly and effectively “washed”, the risk of infection via aerosols released when speaking or coughing is significantly reduced.

TAC V+ for emergency makeshift hospitals: As spaces are being converted into hospitals for coronavirus patients, as with exhibition centres in Berlin, Trotec can supply highly efficient filter systems for mobile air purification
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Berlin is preparing for emergencies! With a construction time of only four weeks, a hospital with space for 500 coronavirus patients and around 130 ventilators has been built virtually overnight on the site of the Berlin exhibition centre. An empty exhibition centre has been converted. An external wing made from containers serves as a respite area for the medical personnel, as the hospital is a hygiene-sensitive infection area and it understandably may only be entered by people wearing the appropriate protective clothing and masks. But it’s not only Berlin that is gearing up. In many places there are plans for auxiliary makeshift hospitals to be set up in sports halls, exhibition centres or other halls that are not in use to aid the response to a new wave of infections.
Corona in the textile industry: How sewing factories and textile manufacturers can protect themselves against another shutdown due to sick employees
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The world is at a standstill – and with it hundreds of thousands of sewing machines in Bangladesh, the second most important sourcing country after China for European fashion manufacturers. Textile companies around the world are struggling with corona-induced slumps in sales – and the hardest hit are the sewing factories in Bangladesh, whose orders are being suspended or cancelled.
The slaughterhouse turns out to be a corona hot spot? Hardly surprising! Air-purifying technology developed in Heinsberg may be able to reduce the risk of infection and prevent closures!

The news that more than 100 Westfleisch employees have contracted the coronavirus in the midst of the current debate on relaxation has come at a very inconvenient time for politics and the economy! This case shows powerfully that the measures first imposed by regional and federal governments weeks ago are only partially effective. They are only effective if people keep a large enough “safe distance” between each other, in addition to all of these hygiene measures.
Technology developed in Heinsberg during the crisis shows how university and company canteens can protect themselves better from Corona: TAC V+ air purification
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The loosening of the corona lockdown measures is a done deal! In almost all federal states, office canteens and university canteens, which have been closed up to now, are preparing to reopen soon. But how can employees and students be protected against infection in the canteen? This question is currently preoccupying not only the states that are imposing strict hygiene requirements, but also universities and companies. No businessperson or university wants to risk their own canteen becoming a Corona hotspot and the press coverage that comes with it!
The Trotec TAC V+ air purifier reliably filters infectious aerosol clouds from the air in the gym, thus reducing the risk of infection for employees and customers

The sports and fitness industry, which has been accustomed to growth for many years, has been particularly hard hit by the Corona pandemic, and the period after the officially ordered closure does not look particularly rosy either. High demands on hygiene regulations pose great challenges for the entire industry. Fear is spreading among customers and operators.
Practical knowledge: This should be acknowledged when wearing a mouth and nose protector during sport
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Physical fitness is important in the Corona era, as it seems that obesity and high blood pressure exacerbate the course of an illness in the event of an infection. So put your trainers on and go outside. This is fine with a mouth and nose protector if you know the important steps you must take. For example, how to deal with a moisture-saturated mask. Or how the mask should fit when doing sport. The easiest solution, by the way, is to opt for the disposable mouth and nose protective mask from Trotec – it always fits and is also a great fit in terms of quality, price and performance!
